Technology in the Classroom.....
What are your thoughts on this????
Personally on one hand I believe there is a need especially as we progress into a digital world but on the other hand is this taking away from our students learning or is this adding to the experience????
There are many ways technology is or has entered our classrooms and from the results seen our posts it is being accepted with open arms from both instructors and students.
A few examples include:
E Text books - http://chronicle.com/article/The-End-of-the-Textbook-as-We/125044/
Web 3.0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_nbUizGeEY
Smart Board - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35kEVtltwA0

Cyber Anatomy - A fun way to study Anatomy. Students can wear 3 D glasses to view anatomy. I use it for reivew classes and get the students to navigate around it and teach one another. It is a very interactive engaging learning tool. The students love it!

Another interesting evolutionary path in our education. I found this style very interesting and out side of my comfort zone in teaching. I have spent many years trying to get students not to use this type of technology in class... of course it was for personal reasons, unlike this new transition.
I know we must move with time and provide new innovative ideas to capture our students in this digital world. I am open to new ideas and look forward to this seeing more of this but will need some new training as an instructor when incorporating this style.
